The Bow River Masters Fly Fishing Derby is a volunteer driven fund development initiative run in support of The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. The funds raised directly benefit deserving children living in Alberta and NWT who suffer from high-risk, life threatening illnesses.
Following a traditional catch-and-release, single day derby format, points are awarded per fish landed. An excellent selection of prizes, including a fabulous West coast fishing trip, motivates anglers to do anything within their means (and the rules) to avoid letting the big one get away.
After a full day drifting the trophy stretch of the Bow River, participants are treated to a closing banquet and an awards ceremony. Testimonials speaking to the event’s excellence abound, but most importantly participants have commented on the warm feeling they left with knowing their day on the river translates to delivery of important community services to very deserving children.
The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada provides children with high-risk, life threatening illnesses the opportunity to realize their most heartfelt wish. The work done is about dignity, about dreams come true and about quality of life for children coping with high-risk, life threatening illnesses. It is about precious moments spent enjoying the special magic of a wish fulfilled. It’s about allowing families a break from the day-to-day trials of tests, treatments, and hospital stays and most importantly it’s about smiles on the faces of very special children.
Imagine the difference a wish can make!
